Easy... get a mortgage, you stop spending on everything :D

Seriously it's all will power :)

[xoom]

simple .... do up the car until it cannot be done up any more and then you cant spend any more on it ;) ;) ;) :lol:

[Azza]

Northy, SB, Xoom & JC know what I did.......

got married.....

[Jeff1018]

ahhaha getting married i think is was out of the question at this time....its all will power its just sometimes jsut cant help yourself buying something or even looking for something to buy if you know what i mean

[Azza]

I can send you my bank details Jeff, have your employer pay your salary into my account, and I will hand out your 'spending money' to you...

Either that, or sell the car and buy a sh!tbox

[Jeff1018]

hahahaha....no thanks....i was thinking of getting a bike so you dont have to mod it at all but having second thoughts about safety and everything...so i think its all about will power as what IZZ-FE said.....

[bozurolla]

AGREED with the Azza..Get married..will power's great but a missus will stop you in ur tracks (not that mines a whip cracker)

ive still got plans in place for my car(mainly cosmetic),she knows all about them,once in awhile 'the bank manager' might deny a requisition but....persistance & puppy eyes works for me..Good luck this year Jeff & stick to your guns dude

[xoom]

yes the old balls in purse syndrome is a good way to stop getting mods on your car ;) ;) ;) ;) :lol:

and the thing is i dont wanna spend money to get my mind of cars i wanna save and not think about buying mods ehheheeh now how hard is that.....

[Les]

Get a real car .. a car that you do not need to modify

i.e. Porsche 911, SL55 etc. etc.

So start saving !!!

[Azza]

Mate, in all honesty, try a term deposit or something. You can usually keep adding to it but cant take out until a certain date (like 12 months)

[BCNYA]

Getting married doesnt work. My missus has a Sportivo....... :(

[Jeff1018]

f430 would be my go ehehehe.....or a galardo...

term deposit would be a good idea but i've already got another account which has got a stop on it PCO (post credit only) can you tell i work in a bank ehehehe....so basically it works like a term deposit but just abit more flex to it.....

[Kevsta]

Look for another hobby to spend your money on.

Think of the car as transport from a to b.

Get a high maintenance girl friend.

simple, *YOUTUBE*

search up your car / same model etc...

and watch the vids where it gets owned either on drags / tracks or whatever.

You will lose interest in your vehicle like cold turkey

then go buy a motorcycle.

[sportiyo]

go gamble, it will chew all your money,and you wont have any money for your car or even yourself(beware your life would be f**ked)

ahhh another fellow bank employee but im leaving the bank soon...im gonna miss my bank holiday. oh well :(

Have payroll disperse your pay into multiple accounts.

To help you in saving set a goal, something realistic.... like saving money for a deposit on a home. Now is a good time to save up so hopefully you can buy something before the next boom comes around.

PS: The PCO aint gonna do nothing for you if you work at a bank, all you'll do is constantly override it and take money out anyway (well thats what another fellow colleague of mine constantly did anyway) :P
